THE BOOKE OF PSALMES


1 Vnto the end, the Psalme of Dauid.
2 TO THEE ô Lord I haue lifted vp my soule: my God in thee is my confidence, let me not be ashamed:
3 Neither let mine enemies scorne me: for al that expect thee, shal not be confounded.
4 Let al be confounded that do vniust thinges in vayne. Lord shew me thy wayes: and teach me thy pathes.
5 Direct me in thy truth, and teach me: because thou art God my Sauiour, and thee haue I expected al the day.
6 Remember ô Lord thy commiserations, and thy mercies: that are from the beginning of the world.
7 The sinnes of my youth, and my ignorances doe not remember. According to thy mercie remember thou me: for thy goodnesse ô Lord.
8 Our Lord is sweete, and righteous: for this cause he wil geue a law to them that sinne in the way.
9 He wil direct the milde in iudgement: he wil teach the meeke his wayes.
10 Al the wayes of our Lord, be mercie and truth, to them that seeke after his testament and his testimonies.
11 For thy name ô Lord thou wilt be propitious to my sinne: for it is much.
12 Who is the man that feareth our Lord? he appoynteth him a law in the way, that he hath chosen.
13 His soule shal abide in good things: and his seede shal inherite the land.
14 Our Lord is a firmament to them that feare him: & his testament that it may be made manifest to them.
15 Myne eies are alwayes to our Lord: because he wil plucke my feete out of the snare.
16 Haue respect to me, and haue mercie on me: because I am alone and poore.
17 The tribulations of my hart are multiplied: deliuer me from my necessities.
18 See my humiliation, and my labour: and forgeue al my sinnes.
19 Behold mine enemies, because they are multiplied, and with vniust hatred hated me.
20 Keepe my soule, and deliuer me: I shal not be ashamed, because I hoped in thee.
21 The innocent and righteous haue cleaued to me: because I expected thee.
22 Deliuer Israel ô God, out of al his tribulations.
